Brodam W. Cochrane-review: Antibakterielle ingredienser uden evidens

Dental caries is a multifactorial disease in which the fermentation of food sugars by bacteria from the biofilm (dental plaque)
leads to localised demineralisation of tooth surfaces, which may ultimately result in cavity formation. Resin composites are
widely used in dentistry to restore teeth. These restorations can fail for a number of reasons, such as secondary caries,
excessive wear, marginal degradation, tooth sensitivity, pulpal death, and restorative material fracture. Caries adjacent to
restorations is one of the main causes for restoration replacement. The presence of antibacterials in both the filling material
and the bonding systems would theoretically be able to affect the initiation and progression of caries adjacent to restorations.
